“I don’t like the Wizard of Oz.”
“Yeah, I’m not a huge fan either.”
“Maybe it’s just because I didn’t see it until I was grown up.”
“Well, it is creepy.”
“Yeah, I mean, those flying monkeys? Weird!”
“Yeah.”
“I did like one of the characters, though…the tin man?”
“The one who didn’t have a heart.”
“Yes, him. But didn’t he end up having a heart, in the end?”
“Something like that.”
“I think I like him because I can identify with him. I feel like I don’t have a heart sometimes. I’m just a heartless person. I keep my emotions so well-hidden that sometimes I don’t even feel like I have any. But I hope that in the end, I will see – and other people will see – that I really do have a heart, and did all along.”
“I already know you do.”
